Walden is an approachable craftsman and very friendly. Thanks Bobby Walden for the open popsicle and ice cream sandwich cooler you offer during the GNRS open house weekends and for the awesome roof panel for my Model A Ford Hot Rod.

Bobby is the freaking man. He is like the guy in the Street Rodder photo to me! Glad to see him on y’all’s channel!

My dad and Bobby where friends and worked together at the oil refinery in Borger, Texas. I was slave labor for all of their side jobs. I remember when he got the Yoder and the 34 Ford. We made lots of trips all over the Texas panhandle showing his Corvette. Even made a trip to Super Chevy at Indy in ‘88.

Not a dying art anymore--very true because of people just like you ! I still hear some folk say a dying art, they do not research what is going on today.

[@snoopu2601]

It's only dieing if no one is working with metal wood plastics. I have very few metal working tool's but I make all kinds of stuff what little I have.
I'm going to make my own plemashing hammer. I have the air hammer just need to weld up the mount for my air hammer don't look to hard to make. The English wheel is a whole other story but I think I can make something to get by.
